Archipelago architecture and evolution of paclitaxel biosynthesis revealed by the Pseudotaxus chienii haplotype-resolved genome
The authors report genome assembly of Pseudotaxus chienii and show that, while it retains a largely conserved genomic architecture for paclitaxel biosynthesis, extensive degradation of the terminal pathway suggests a substantial loss of paclitaxel-producing capacity.
